Ideally, what you want to do is make the spring assembly shorter (some squeeze the middle coils, others find it easier to squeeze the top or bottom coils), and once the spring assemble is shorter you will be able to tip the top of it forward away from its cradle and lift it up (thus releasing...

Hope it works out for you. Love my V6 thoroughbred. I used a $750 private cash coupon to buy it last Sept, and 2-3 months later Ford emailed me another $750 coupon, but I wasn't ready to trade up yet LOL. It did make me think about the GT again though.

I was amazed by the highway MPG my V6 got coming home over 430 miles back from the dealer when I first picked it up. In fact I probably could've made it home without refilling, but did put in a couple of gallons near the end just to be safe. I would've never thought this much power could come...

I have a clutch pedal spacer, not sure if I got it from AmericanMuscle or Lethalperformance, for about $65. and found it really helped. I was concerned if having the clutch that much higher would bring it too close to me, but it was no problem at all--got used to it in a few minutes. The...

If money were no object, I would get the GT. Even so, I like my V6 a lot. It's as fast as my '88 GT and is so much better in every other way. To top it off, I got a great deal on mine and it didn't cost me much more than an economy car. Ford did limit the options for the V6, but they put so...

I just removed my clutch assist spring yesterday. It's not the same size I see pictured before and appears to be lighter weight (.187"/4.6mm diameter wire, about 4-1/4 active coils). Attached is a picture with the dimensions (hope I attached it correctly). It's medium-dark red in color, a...

Very nice install, and perfect fit in that spot.

I second that. Get a good night's sleep before going in to close the sale and sign papers. Regardless of how low a dealer prices a car, they might try to change agreed-on items at the last minute so keep in mind what was agreed on and for how much. Better to have a written item price...

In my case, it's just a habit from my younger days' new motocycles and cars that often called for early first oil changes in the owner's manuals, mostly around 1k miles. If I had seen the posts about recent 1k oil analysis I probably would have delayed my oil change, though in hind sight I'm...

Just did my first change at 1400 miles with Mobil 1 5w20 and Motorcraft filter. I used the filter model specified by Ford even though there's another Ford filter (can't recall the part number now but was used by Ford in higher spec Mustangs and fits this model) that seems might work better...

If I recall, one of the connectors (terminates at the corner of the mirror plug) at the rear view mirror has its power cut off when the car is shifted into reverse, but another connector (terminates away from any corners of the plug) stays on even when shifted into reverse. I guess getting...

I agree, from what I see in this thread no firm promises were made, only estimates were given. This kind of complaining doesn't encourage manufactures to get involved in low volume products or participate in these threads.

Part of it depends on your local market conditions and how far you're willing to go to get your deal. I flew about 430 miles to the dealer and drove the new toy back--it's one way to get the break-in done fast LOL.

Maybe they listed the wrong VIN, but the VIN in the web page linked earlier shows a windows sticker at the Ford site with a December 2014 blend date so that vehicle was built over 10 months ago and would be next to impossible to have only 14 miles. I wonder how many miles these cars actually...

One change I know of is that for 2016, the 1/8" audio input jack has been eliminated. Most people won't miss this but some will.

Glad to hear it worked out and you have it back, $1k sounds like a lot but really not a lot as you will learn later as far as mistakes we make in life--we all make them. I threw out a lot more than that just at car spending/purchasing mistakes when I was young. Just chalk this one up to the...

I got mine at Sterling (15-20 minutes from Dulles International airport), and the current prices I saw yesterday were at the Sterling web site--I didn't check their other location sites--but they generally will list the cars at their other sites as well but state their actual location. Their MD...

I didn't like those seat either, felt lacking in lower back support. The regular seats feel good to me, and holds me pretty tight on the sides, and I'm not a big guy. I actually wonder how the bigger guys can find them comfortable and not too tight.

Koons in VA has some great prices on their web site now--cheaper for new then your used price, but no NAV. If you're not too far, it'd be worth the trip, about 3-5k below MSRP, funny their PP equipped GTs are cheaper than the regular, must've got a deal from Ford. Be sure to add the freight...

I drove all three, and if money were no object I would've bought the V8. But the V8 was going to be about $8k more after tax, both being base models which is what I wanted. For me, the extra fun isn't worth the extra $8k plus gas right now. I had a Fox body GT with the manual back in the day...
